The error message hints at what's wrong:

test=> SELECT '2006-08-01' + 30 + (7 * (3 - 1));
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for integer: "2006-08-01"

PostgreSQL doesn't know that the untyped string is supposed to be
interpreted as a date.  Use a cast:

test=> SELECT '2006-08-01'::date + 30 + (7 * (3 - 1));
  ?column?  
------------
 2006-09-14
(1 row)

or

test=> SELECT CAST('2006-08-01' AS date) + 30 + (7 * (3 - 1));
  ?column?  
------------
 2006-09-14
(1 row)
